India in England Jun-Sept 2014

Another reason why Norfolk should have an international cricket ground. Warm and sunny here!

I would actually have said Misbah too, had he had a longer career, and not been lambasted for slow scoring rate. I think he scores at a fine rate when he needs to. Even in T20s has an S/R of 110, not the worst in the world.

Definitely Hussey would go in that list.

If to look at statics even Sachin would fit in to the list.

I think a case can be made against Sachin for T20. He didn't play enough of it, especially Int'l T20. Even for IPL he missed a lot of the matches for MI later. Although I do remember at a point seeing the highest scorers in IPL and seeing SRT #5. I didn't think he had scored those many T20 runs to be honest.

Still remember his T20 Century though, was a thing of beauty.

Highest run scorer in 2010, 3rd highest in 2011.

I had this idea that Mohit bowled in the 125-130 range. Hitting 135ish here

He constantly clocked 135 kph,sure he bowled at 125-130 kph before and I think he had made the bowling action a bit quicker than before.Also Kumar who is a typical medium pacer who bowls below 130 kph bowled much quicker in the initial part of the test series.

True about Bhuvi. He was quicker in the first 3 Tests.

I guess the non-subcontinent wicket helps too.

Didn't know he was highest IPL scorer in 2010 ! Or atleast dont remember remembering this

Was the only Indian to get the Orange cap till 2014 when Uthappa got the orange cap.Doesn't count much but still he started his IPL with a four and ended it with a six.

Double checked because I wasn't sure which year :P
FYI: Also had a SR of 132 in 2010. That's quite fabulous

Getting back to the topic .. where are our early wickets. If it wasn't for Cook fantastic strike rate we would be on the backfoot right now

Continuing the theme, I think Kallis would find a place on that list.[DOUBLEPOST=1409151572][/DOUBLEPOST]I think Bhuvi would need a rest in the next few matches, he is clearly tired.

I didn't expect too much from Mohit but he has been the pick of our bowlers so far.

With the rain around Eng have it seems gone with the option to keep wickets in hand.

I hope Umesh gets the next game .. his non-inclusion was very disappointing this time.

ABD is such a beast - sprinting 3s with cramps

Off Topic , but if there are any football fans here, here is the miss of the season so far bit.ly/1qj0tLo[DOUBLEPOST=1409151907][/DOUBLEPOST]

I was quite looking forward to him playing too after Aus. I am sure he will get a game in soon, especially with Bhuvi clearly in need of a rest.

 

[abhi_jacko]

They need to rest bhuvi for all of WIndies ODIs if we don't want him to burn out before Aus. And thank God SRH dint qualify for Champions League. Otherwise the poor guy would have to play that too
